Soak buckwheat overnight or for 2 hours. Drain and rinse, then combine in a large mixing bowl with all remaining ingredients. Pour into a lined 14x24cm loaf tin (or close to this size). Cover with tea towel and sit on bench top for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 150C, place loaf in middle rack of oven and cook 1 1/2 hours in the tin, then flip out of tin and place upside down and back into the oven for a further 1 hour. Remove from oven, allow to cool completely, then slice and serve.

This bread is best toasted with a beautiful nourishing source of fat to accompany – avocado, ricotta, butter, nut butter.
